I highly recommend this book! As a very busy elementary school counselor, I appreciate a book that I can pick up and implement activities quickly. Even though I am not an art therapist, I can use art as an intervention in my work with students. I love the practical tips. I've learned alternatives to using the volcano metaphor to describe anger.

"Working with Anger Creatively" by Erica Curtis starts with an insightful exploration of art therapy. Part 1 is a clear and helpful read, condensing complex concepts into actionable tools, that even non-art therapists can easily follow. The book's accessible approach makes it great for newcomers or experts, while its effectiveness stems from well-crafted, digestible art activities, enhanced with helpful implementation tips. Erica Curtis' skill in crafting concise and impactful exercises makes this book a valuable resource for anyone seeking to explore anger creatively.

Erica Curtis has done it again! This book not only gives a thorough review of how to work with anger creatively it also gives you confidence in executing these interventions. The skills build upon each other yet also stand alone. They are extremely person-centered and meeting individuals where they are. This book acknowledges how anger is an emotion just like all the others and therefore is not bad. Utilizing the creative interventions in this book will help individuals find balance with anger-which can provide a positive transformation. Furthermore, this book's approaches could be easily integrated with other therapeutic modalities. I highly recommend!
